The incubation period of influenza is usually two days but can range from one to four days. What are the symptoms of influenza? Typical influenza disease is characterized by abrupt onset of fever, aching muscles, sore throat, and non-productive cough. Additional symptoms may include runny nose, headache, a burning sensation in the chest, and eye pain and sensitivity to light. Typical influenza disease does not occur in every infected person.
ACTION: If sleeping on your left side doesnât help, and heartburn and indigestion are still proving a problem, prop up the head of your bed slightly, so that the upper body is higher than the stomach. This can help reduce acid reflux when sleeping, as gravity keeps the acid in the stomach.
An old remedy for indigestion, lying on your left side helps you break down food. Douillard points out in The 3-Season Diet that âbecause of the asymmetrical shape of the stomach, lying your left side allows the food to flow through it and into the small intestine.â.
